John King comments:
Letter from Dept of Education to Lord Lucas confirming the Govt's intention of deregulating music in schools. But why has it taken the Govt over a year to scrap legislation that criminalises sibli...ngs of performers attending primary school music events? See Shenley Primary School...

The letter quotes the no of schools holding a premises licence as "very small". This isn't correct, and there are plenty of examples on this FB Group. DCMS 'statisticians' disingenuously claim they don't know how many schools hold premises licences as there isn't a legal definition of a school within the Licensing Act. DCMS Select Committee reported that over half of all TENs are for PTA events (let alone schools).
